    Come to the system today and all my bookmarks have disappeared.
    Well, there is one showing for the Halifax but all the rest are gone.

    They were there a few days ago.

    Google tells me to look for the Bookmarks and Bookmarks.bak files under Google in my profile, but there is no such file.

    Which in turn makes me wonder where the single bookmark I have is
    stored.

    Anyone else hit this recently?

    Oh, $DEITY!

    Turns out I was using Microsoft Edge even though the tool bar had Chrome highlighted.
    Before my second monitor karked it I would have known by the position.
    Both browsers now look remarkably similar.
    Also, having a fraught day :-(

    Still don't know why there is no Bookmarks file for Chrome unless it has
    been changed to something else.

    Sigh.

    Both browsers use exactly the same rendering engine anyway.
